Pittsfield's Homeless Advisory Committee Housing Resource Fair
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The City of Pittsfield's Homeless Advisory Committee is sponsoring their third Housing Resource Fair.
The fair will be at Persip Park on North Street on Thursday, Sept. 19 between 10:00 a.m. to Noon. If the weather doesn't
cooperate, the fair will be moved inside to the Berkshire Athenaeum, Main Room, during the same timeframe.
The fair will offer a variety of resources and assistance to those in the community who are seeking help with accessing stable and secure housing.
The event is free and open to the public. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from local housing organizations and agencies, learn about affordable housing options, and receive information on resources for rental assistance. Participating agencies include ServiceNet, Upside 413 (formerly Berkshire County Regional Housing), Second Street Second Chances, Elder Services, The Christian Center, Central Berkshire Habitat for Humanity, ADLIB, Hearthway (formerly Berkshire Housing) and the Pittsfield Housing Authority.
Kim Borden, Chairperson of the City's Homeless Advisory Committee, said that the Committee is building on the success of previous Housing Resource Fairs held last year.
"The purpose of the fair is to bring together community organizations and the residents they serve to create meaningful
community connections and provide support for those in need."
